An individuals personal freedom (to believe or act on a belief) stops at another persons nose. If someone wants to believe in nonsense OK, if they want spread the nonsense OK, if they want to enforce the nonsense upon others/society, not OK. That's not how freedom works.
With the current covid situation, if the antivax/antimask nonsense has a real world impact on society, which it does, then they can still believe can but be excluded from activities that may have a negative impact on society. Don't want to mask or vaccinate yourself then you may be eliminated from some activities that living that the society allows others, work, education, social interaction,............
If they truly believe that their belief is the only way, then they are free to create their own isolated society/life. They don't get to demand that others, the majority of 'sensible' society, comply with their belief.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
